In class we have discussed that a good writer communicates effectively so that a reader can understand what the writer is trying to say. Part of communicating effectively is to use the laws of language. A good writer uses complete sentences when writing. This means that the sentences has a who or what and something happening to the who/what. The words in the sentence are spelled correctly. A complete sentence also starts with a capital letter and ends with a period. As someone who communicates using the internet for school purposes, you must pay attention to these rules of language. We will practice pay attention to the rules this week.
Directions: Do your best to figure out where Mrs. McDonald lives. Use the clues and map below as a start. You may ask additional questions in the discussion sections of this page - but you may each ask only one question. Questions asked in class will not be answered; only online questions will be answered. Your questions should be posted in the discussion for this page. You may use answers to other students' questions to help you make your guess. You may use maps of Massachusetts and the internet (with your parents' permission) to help you. There will be a discussion topic called Final Guesses. Post your final guess as a reply to that thread.
ALL QUESTIONS MUST BE WRITTEN IN COMPLETE SENTENCES OR ELSE THEY WILL NOT BE ANSWERED. YOUR FINAL GUESS MUST BE WRITTEN IN A COMPLETE SENTENCE OR IT WILL NOT BE COUNTED.
Your guess is due Friday, November 30. 2012. Good luck!
11/27/12 I've realized that since I moved my town is not on this map. I have made the map a link that you can click on. It will take you to a map that you can zoom in on (make it bigger) so that you can see more towns.
Map from Google Maps Point A is where Ludlow is on the map.
Starter Clues:1. I take 2 highways to get to work and the same 2 highways (in the opposite direction) to get home.2. It takes about 30 minutes to get from my house to Veterans Park School (if I do not have to bring my children to child care).3. I went elementary school in one town and high school in another town. Both schools are part of the same school district.
